This housekeeper is the housekeeper of Xu Rui's family, and the big housekeeper in his mouth is the big housekeeper of the entire Xu family, serving Old Master Xu.
After Xu Rui heard the news, he followed the housekeeper out, leaving Chi Yan and Xu Xin in the house.
Chi Yan was a little puzzled, and turned to ask Xu Xin, "What's the situation? Why did the housekeeper say that this person died three days ago, and you said that you saw this person the night before? Who is this person?"
"Second Sister Lin is a distant relative of our family. Her husband left early. She was the only one who raised her son and helped with chores in the clan. She also took my brother and me for a few days when I was a child. Later, her son Lin Zhu When he grew up, he also helped the clan to do things. These days, he has been helping the big housekeeper to entertain the celestial masters who came from all over the world to participate in the sacrifice and to purchase supplies. As a result, no one has seen it since this morning. I passed him. Because Sister Lin took me and my brother before, and we are relatively familiar with Lin Zhu, I specially asked the housekeeper to pay attention to some news about him, and found someone to come back and tell us as soon as possible. I didn't expect this to happen in the end. "
Having said that, she frowned again: "But it doesn't make sense. I did see Lin Zhu the night before, and he asked me if I was doing well outside and chatted with me for a while. We were together all day yesterday. , although I didn't see him, but there was a banquet last night. Lin Zhu has been busy preparing for the banquet and arranging guest seats. Many people in the Xu family have seen him. After he disappeared, many people said with certainty that they saw him. After cleaning up the mess last night, I went back to the house. There are so many Celestial Masters here, how could they not even recognize a person or a ghost."
After more than an hour, Xu Rui came back and told them that the corpse was indeed Lin Zhu's. Judging from the corpse, the person had indeed been dead for more than three days. But Lin Zhu could not have been dead for that long, so it can only be explained that some factor or something in the forest in the mountains accelerated the decay of the corpse.
"Did you try to summon the soul?" Xu Xin asked. Not long after the person left, this is the place where Lin Zhu lived since he was a child. The deceased did not die naturally. Logically, it is easy to conjure the soul, and you will know what the situation is when you ask.
"It's recruited." Xu Rui said, "Uncle went. At first, he was recruited by a person from the other family. He tried three times and failed to recruit him. Later, the uncle went to summon the soul himself, but he didn't recruit him. He used the spirit banner, but he still didn't recruit him. "
"I can't even use the spirit banner?" Xu Xin said.
Xu Rui nodded: "Yes. But don't think about it anymore, the uncle has already sent someone to check."
The soul-inducing banner is a magic weapon passed down by the Xu family. It has a miraculous effect in attracting the soul. Even an ordinary person who does not know the magic method can successfully use the soul-inducing banner, let alone Xu Rui's uncle. And ordinary people don't die so quickly. In this case, there are only two possibilities. The deceased has no worries about this world and has passed away quickly, or he has been murdered and has no soul left. Lin Zhu's situation is obviously the second more likely.
Because of this incident, the atmosphere between the Xu family, including the Xu Rui brothers and sisters, was a bit solemn. When the Ye family's car came to pick up Chi Banquet, Xu Rui only helped him with the things and told him to take good care of himself, and he didn't even want to drive again. He joked with Ye Yingzhi.
After returning to Ye's house, Ye Yingzhi had already set up a table of rice waiting for him, and there was even a pot of white wine on the table.
After Chi Yan packed up, he sat down, tasted the dish, and knew that Ye Yingzhi did not make it, so he calmed down a little, and then saw Ye Yingzhi pouring wine for the two of them, and immediately became anxious: "Brother Yingzhi, you can still drink. ?" He remembered that Ye Yingzhi used to avoid tobacco, alcohol, cold and spicy food.
"It's okay to drink a little occasionally. The doctor said it's good for the body. And after drinking it, the body will feel warmer." Ye Yingzhi explained naturally. But there was another set of thoughts in his mind. Ah Yan was so timid and stupid. If he didn't push him, he probably only dared to pretend to be innocent and lick himself, not even a serious kiss. Give him a drink to give him courage.
Chi Yan was skeptical, but his grandfather also liked to have a drink at dinner, and also said that wine is made from grain, so drinking less is harmless, so he reluctantly accepted: "Then you don't drink a lot. "
Ye Yingzhi seemed to like Chi Yan controlling him like this. He was not annoyed when he heard the words. He smiled and said, "Okay, brother, just drink a little bit. A Yan, can you drink a little more?"
Chi Yan kept staring at Ye Yingzhi and drank less, and he really drank two or three cups unknowingly. He usually accompanies his grandfather to drink a little less. How can he drink such a good amount of alcohol? He was already drunk by the time he finished the third cup, and he was lying on the table softly, feeling that he couldn't even lift his head up.
He finally raised his head and saw the man sitting upright opposite him. He couldn't tell if it was a real illusion for a while. He supported the edge of the table and stood up, stumbled over and sat on Ye Yingzhi's lap. He hugged each other's neck.
Ye Yingzhi was delighted: "Why is Ah Yan so nice to me today?" He knew that he was inducing Chi Yan to drink too much, but he still pretended to be a gentleman and pretended not to know anything. look.
Chi Yan leaned over and rubbed his face against Ye Yingzhi's icy neck, his face flushed from the alcohol, full of intoxicating heat and anger: "Ayan misses my brother." He closed his eyes, murmured softly.
"You said this yesterday." Ye Yingzhi gently touched the soft flesh on the back of his neck, his face was calm, as if he was unmoved.
"... I like Yingzhi brother."
"You said that yesterday too."
Chi Yan opened her eyes and looked at the man at a loss, as if she didn't know what else to say.
"Ah Yan, is there anything else that you want to tell your brother? More than liking?" Ye Yingyi was persuading little by little, her eyes soft and gentle.
"...Yes." Chi Yan turned around and placed a soft, moist kiss on his cheek, "That's right, I especially like to greet him..."
Before he could finish speaking, Ye Yingzhi felt the warm and sweet touch on his side cheeks disappear, and at the same time his shoulders were heavy, Chi Yan was already drunk and unconscious, lying on his shoulders and fell asleep, humming in his nose. Snoring.
This little bastard. Ye Yingzhi closed his eyes and looked at Chi Yan's sleeping appearance. He reluctantly stood up and picked him up, carried him back to the bedroom and put him on the bed. He wiped the sweat from his body with a hot towel and changed his clothes. Tuck people into the quilt well.
It was the first time he had experienced the feeling of stealing chickens without losing money. Who would have thought that his family's A Yan was so useless, but three small glasses of wine can be drunk like this.
Ye Yingzhi didn't reflect at all what was wrong with her deliberately tricking people into getting drunk. She just learned from experience and thought that next time she would give him a drink with a lower degree of alcohol, but she couldn't let Ah Yan get so drunk again. Put him aside, he can't go up or down.
Because he slept early the day before, Chi Yan woke up early the next day, and when he woke up, Ye Yingzhi was still sleeping beside him, hugging him.
The two of them were covered by the same quilt, so Chi Yan could clearly feel the chill on Ye Yingzhi's body. He got close to the other party and tried to help Ye Yingzhi to warm up, but Ye Yingzhi woke up because of his movements and opened his eyes. He opened his eyes and looked at him: "Ayan is awake? Be good, don't move, and sleep with my brother for a while." Then he reached out his hand to hug him.
Chi Yan remembered that Ye Yingyi Xiangqian was sleeping and was reluctant to disturb his sleep, so he responded lightly and didn't move, and continued to curl up beside him as he was. Also fell asleep again. How could he have thought that Ye Yingzhi wasn't sleepy at all, but just pretended not to be awake, so that he could hold him and lie down for a while longer.
When Chi Yan woke up again, it was already three poles in the sun. The first thing he did when he woke up was to ask Ye Yingzhi, "Brother Yingzhi, where is your hand warmer? Is it cold for you to wear this at home?"
He remembered that because Ye Yingzhi's body was cold and chilly, Bieyuandan had a heating system that operated all year round, at most the difference between running a few items in summer and running the whole set in winter. In addition, Ye Yingzhi had two fox fur blankets and a hand warmer, always within reach.
Now Ye Yingzhi lives in the main house of the Ye family. In this small two-story building, there are no complete heating facilities like Bieyuan, and there are not so many body-warming objects that can be seen everywhere. The clothes he wears are similar to others. This season Just wear one shirt. He didn't notice it when he first came the night before, but now that he thinks about it, he feels puzzled. It makes no sense that brother Yingzhi became the head of the Ye family, and his treatment was not as good as when he was recuperating in Bieyuan. Certainly no one can deduct him, the only explanation is that he does not take care of himself, and there are no people around him who take care of him properly.
"It's alright, it's not cold." Ye Yingzhi smiled lightly, "The doctor said that my health is much better, and you feel cold when you touch me. Actually, I don't feel so cold inside, so I don't need those things."
"How can this be done? The building itself is overcast, no sunlight, and there is no warmth in the open air." Chi Yan muttered, thinking of one more thing, "Brother Yingzhi, where's your medicine? I haven't seen you all these days. The doctor came to see you?"
Ye Yingyi used to take more than a dozen medicines a day, both Chinese and Western, and the doctor came to see him once every three days. At that time, he also heard from the cleaning servant of Bieyuan that the third son's body, if he had not been born in the Ye family and had been so meticulously raised, would have been gone two years earlier. He couldn't help crying after hearing it at a young age. When Ye Yingzhi found out, he was very angry and asked Fu Bo to send the servants away. No matter what brother Yingzhi said, his health is much better now, and it is impossible for him to be completely healthy without seeing a doctor or taking medicine. His hands are clearly still so cold.
"The doctor will be here tomorrow." Ye Yingzhi said, and paused, "Just take a few medicines. I already took them while you were awake yesterday and when you went to Xu's house."
"What about today's medicine?" The man was still wearing black silk pajamas, leaning lazily on his left side, obviously like himself, he hadn't moved the nest since he woke up, so naturally he couldn't have taken medicine.
"Eat in a while."
When Chi Yan was eating breakfast, he saw a bowl of soup and medicine in front of Ye Yingzhi, and he could imagine how bitter it would taste just by smelling it.
Chi Yan took two bites of breakfast and saw that the bowl of medicine was still untouched: "Why doesn't Brother Yingzhi drink it?"
Ye Yingzhi looked down at it, expressionless: "It's too bitter."
Chi Yan seemed to have seen Grandpa's appearance when he was cheating at home. It is said that it is an old child and an old child. The older people are, the more they will shrink back, just like a child, but I didn't expect that brother Yingzhi was only under thirty years old this year, and he already had this sign. He remembered that Ye Yingzhi was not afraid to drink medicine before, and he could drink whatever medicine Fu Bo brought.
At that time, he also asked the other party in amazement and admiration, "Brother Yingzhi, aren't you afraid of hardship?" How did Ye Yingzhi get back to him
In my memory, Ye Yingzhi was sitting on the sofa in the living room of Bieyuan, looking at him with a smile, with an indifferent tone: "If I can live to accompany Ah Yan for one more day, I will not be afraid no matter how hard it is."
Looking back, there was a hint of sadness in those quiet black eyes.
He is also afraid. Afraid of leaving, afraid of not being able to care.
Chi Yan raised her head to look at the man in front of her, a little helpless: "Is there any preserved fruit, candy, etc. at home? I'll go get it."
Ye Yingzhi looked at him with a light smile: "I don't want sugar, it's not sweet enough, I want something else."
